Omig exclusion

5.0 stars

Anonymous review posted onJune 28, 2016

For the last 6 years of my life I lived in torment. I was placed on the NYS OMIG exclusions list after an audit. It was definitely the absolute worst experience of my life. The trauma of having an uncertain future in a career I fell in love with was inconceivable. My previous lawyer- unbeknownst to me-had absolutely no savvy in defending my license or educated me on the repercussions that being placed on this list meant. I lived the last 5 years of my life in constant fear of losing my job ( as I only cared for patients on private insurance-not Medicaid.) As time has ticked forward, I realized the current trend of managed care dominating the industry--it forced me to accept the fact that in a few short years I wouldn't even be able to push a broom in a hospital, let alone work as a nurse. One day intuition made me stop what I was doing and I googled "Omig exclusion Lawyer NY"--Karen's name was the first and only name that popped up on the screen that handled this specifically in NYS. I knew right then and there that I HAD TO CONTACT HER. From the very moment that I made initial contact with Karen she listened to ALL of my concerns and assured me that she could be of service. When I met her on my first appointment I really got the sense that she cares and that fighting for her own(being an RN herself) brought her the greatest satisfaction and purpose. She's a straight shooter and tells you exactly what you need to do and formulates a plan. I really sensed that she does not promise what she cannot deliver and won't take your hard earned money unless she feels she can win a case. Karen is meticulous and takes her time carefully dissecting your case to deliver an undeniable outcome. It's because of her expertise-that I was able to receive a favorable decision in 24 days-as opposed to the usual turnaround of 90 days! It's because of Karen Halpern that I claimed my life back! I'm now free to plan for the future without fear!! If you or anyone is in this position, please DONT HESITATE! Hire Karen Halpern to set the record straight! Don't place your livelihood in the hands of just any criminal defense attorney! You need to deal with a Lawyer who specializes and is well rounded in Licensure defense. By far the best Lawyer and the best investment into a brighter future. I truly have no regrets and you won't either!

Justice Center for Special Needs People

5.0 stars

Do you need to appeal a Justice Center finding ? Well, look no further. Karen represented me on a recent Justice Center matter that went to a hearing. She skillfully dissected the JC's case against me and won the hearing. She is one of the extremely few attorneys that have won a case against the Justice Center. I can assure you that Karen is a very meticulous attorney that finds it unacceptable to lose a case. She's very soft spoken, listens to all of your concerns, reviews them and will later let you know the specific reason(s) why she feels your route chosen may or may not be in your best interest. Fortunately, as hard headed as I am, I elected to follow her guidance. In doing so, my ordeal is now finally over. You too can be the next success story. I highly recommend her.

NYS RN License Disciplinary Action

5.0 stars

Karen recently represented me for charges of a HIPAA violation. She was extremely professional, knowledgable, and thorough throughout the entire process with the OPD, and I believe it was because of her that my situation was resolved so quickly. She takes the time to listen to all of your concerns and the facts of the case, and will give you her honest evaluation and prepare you for what lies ahead. In addition to her outstanding skills as a lawyer, she really cares about her clients. I felt like I had a friend on my side. If you ever find yourself in need of defending your license, I would highly recommend consulting and hiring Karen Halpern!

I have known Karen Halpern as a colleague and fellow nurse/attorney for many years and have consulted with her on matters dealing with the disciplinary defense of health care professionals in various state and federal agencies. She is very experienced and knowledgeable in this area and is often successful in having matters dismissed for her clients or negotiating the most favorable settlements possible on their behalf. I have found that Karen embodies a unique combination of qualities necessary for success in this arena. They are a straight shooting professionalism and integrity which have earned her the respect of her prosecutorial adversaries with whom she deals regularly and compassion for her clients who are often suffering through crises that have the potential to negatively impact their ability to practice in their chosen professions. I am grateful to have her as a resource for my own practice as well as an excellent attorney to whom to refer clients.

I endorse this lawyer. Karen and I work in the same areas of practice, healthcare and professional discipline, and nearby locations on Long Island, so I am well acquainted with the high quality of her work, her professionalism, compassion, and effectiveness as an advocate. I do not hesitate to refer to her.
